<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The Conference is organized and planned as a collaborative effort of the University of Jyväskylä Language Campus and by one of the University’s national tasks; i.e. The Finnish Network
for Language Education Policies. The Language Campus actors, the Network, and the research projects working within these contexts aim at increasing our awareness of the significance of language related questions within education and the society at large. Further,
the conference aims at increasing dialogue between researchers, policy makers, practitioners and other actors in the field of language education.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The Conference encourages the participants to submit innovative panels, workshops and other presentations that aim at promoting empowering designs and approaches to language education
policy. Hence the theme of co-designs: rather than focus on “producers” and “users” of language education policy, we would like to turn our attention towards policy formation as a two-way co-operative process.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

others.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
